EP Rules of procedure, rule 48: written declarations

Adopting the report by Mr Gianfranco DELL'ALBA (ARE, I), the European Parliament amended article 48 of its rules of procedure. It proposed that up to five Members, rather than any Member, may submit a written declaration on a matter falling within the sphere of activities of the European Union. This declaration shall be included with the names of the signatories in a register. Where a declaration is signed by the majority of Parliament's Members, it shall be forwarded to the institutions in question together with the names of the signatories and included in the minutes of the next session.�
